Potapovo Station nears completion

The new terminal station on the Line 1 will greatly improve travel convenience and efficiency for nearly 170,000 residents of Kommunarka district. 27,000 residents will now have direct access to the metro within walking distance, significantly reducing their travel time by up to 40 minutes per day. 

 

Potapovo boasts a unique distinction as the first heated above-ground station on the Moscow Metro and its glass facade ensures maximum natural light for passengers. 

 

We are nearing the completion of the new Potapovo station, a project undertaken under the direction of Moscow Mayor Sergey Sobyanin. Currently, our focus is on finalizing architectural and finishing work, as well as installing equipment. 

 

Our team of metro specialists is conducting comprehensive testing and commissioning of all systems, including escalators, ticket booths, turnstiles, communication, ventilation, safety, and numerous other vital systems. This meticulous approach guarantees the safety and comfort of our passengers, — said Maksim Liksutov, the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport. 

 

To facilitate the final stages of preparation for the station's grand opening, Line 1 will experience temporary service interruptions.
